BlogPaws Cat Lounge Readies for Conference

The Cat Lounge at this year’s BlogPaws Conference will be a whole new experience for cat-loving attendees! This special section of the exhibit hall will be dedicated to all things feline, focusing on the latest cat trends and topics as well as showcasing the hottest product for cats and cat lovers.

We are a kitty-loving nation, with cats dominating web videos, memes, and social media feeds. Feline fancy meets functionality as attendees of the 9th BlogPaws Conference will experience in the revamped and modernized Cat Lounge. At the upcoming BlogPaws 2017 Conference taking place in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina from May 18-21st, the cat presence will also include several celebrity cats of Instagram, play host to the Cat Writer’s Association, prominent cat brands including PawCulture, and feature Hauspanther founder and New York Times best-selling author, Kate Benjamin. Here are some of what attendees can expect in the Cat Lounge:

This section, curated by Kate Benjamin of Hauspanther, will focus on the latest trends in environmental enrichment for cats, highlighting great examples of interior design and product design that help keep indoor cats happy and stimulated – but still with an eye for style.
